Re: We need a trillion more indoor plants.
I took two pictures of my indoor plants (not including the indoor garden, which I will post pictures of one of these days).
One is of my ficus tree (fig) that is growing mostly in homemade terra preta. It's growing like a weed and is surprisingly heat tolerant and sunlight friendly.
In the other picture, going from left to right, are a pothos/devil's ivy, banana tree, and English ivy. The banana tree and its little sprout are growing in terra preta as well. Found out that the banana tree could not tolerate Utah's harsh sun very well on the windowsill until too late. Much of the damage to it accumulated while I was away on vacation and unable to care for it. I've shielded it with index cards and increased the amount of shade the pot and plant gets. I'll probably put it into a bigger pot as well and separate the sapling, which is growing very quickly. The sapling has already doubled in size since I shot the picture. I'm going to move the pothos off the windowsill and to a corner in my room, where it should do better. Both the pothos and English ivy will be repotted and put into terra preta to help them recover and flourish. I have a lot of charcoal now, and should be able to make up new terra preta pronto.
